Game of Thrones actor Iwan Rheon has recently shared how the popular show has created a problem for his career. Known for his portrayal of the sadistic Ramsay Bolton, Rheon has been typecast as psychopaths due to his role on the HBO fantasy series. 

Reflecting on the impact of Game of Thrones on his career, Rheon acknowledged the immense opportunities the show has provided him. However, he also revealed the limitations it has brought. 

After Ramsay's demise in Game of Thrones in 2016, Rheon took on the role of Adolf Hitler in the BBC comedy series Urban Myths. This performance further contributed to his association with psychopathic characters.
